ABSTRACT The purpose of this paper is to provide community practitioners with the theoretical background to recognize and work in the interplay of global and local forces. This paper reviews globalization as a contested term and presents several globalization paradigms. It introduces critical glocalization as a guiding approach that sensitizes social workers to power dynamics. With this approach, social workers are encouraged to look for innovations that arise in the glocal sphere. They will understand the broader political, economic, structural, policy, and discursive contexts in which they are working, and intentionally look for the marginalized voices in our complex, interconnected world.

一种关键的全球本地化方法：关注创新领域的权力

摘要 本文的目的是为社区从业者提供理论背景，以认识全球和地方力量的相互作用并在其中开展工作。本文将全球化视为一个有争议的术语，并提出了几种全球化范式。它引入了批判性全球本地化作为一种​​指导方法，使社会工作者对权力动态敏感。通过这种方法，鼓励社会工作者寻找在全球范围内出现的创新。他们将了解他们工作的更广泛的政治、经济、结构、政策和话语背景，并有意识地在我们复杂、相互关联的世界中寻找边缘化的声音。
